  • GREETINGS from YOUR EDUCATION SECTOR VP Brothers and Sisters, at the Close of This Academic Year, We Have Four Sector Units Bargaining New Collective Agreements
    GREETINGS FROM YOUR EDUCATION SECTOR VP Brothers and Sisters, At the close of this academic year, we have four sector units bargaining new collective agreements. This includes the Gabriel Dumont Institute, Northlands College, all the Regional Colleges, and the Professional Services Bargaining Unit at Saskatchewan Polytechnic. As we start our summer vacations we need to keep in mind that this time off is a negotiated right, and that we may be called on to defend these and other collective agreement rights. The Saskatchewan Party government’s directive to reduce total compensation for all public sector workers by 3.5% includes our workplaces. Your bargaining committees are taking a strong stand to resist this directive during bargaining. Members can help by participating in solidarity activities in order to send a message to our employers that we will not accept pay cuts and takeaways—and we support our bargaining team. A strong united stand is the only way to ensure that management and the government get this message. This month we ask that you participate in the social media selfie challenge described below. Why say no to a 3.5% cut? Government financial mismanagement is the cause of our current budget deficit— not the frontline workers who provide quality public services and perform important functions in our educational institutions. So why are we expected to pay to fix it? I hope you have a safe and relaxing vacation break—and remember to attend any rallies or demonstrations in your area that will send the message to our government that cuts to the public sector and public services are not acceptable.

    2018 MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY Financial Assistance Provided by: Message from the Chair It is my distinct privilege to serve the Recreation Professionals of Saskatchewan on your Board of Directors and specifically as your Chairperson. Our membership may be diverse pertaining to the actual work that we perform within the field that we serve, however, it is important to recognize what continues to unite us and drive us in the field of recreation. It is our common vision of education for recreation professionals, combined with our values of lifelong learning, integrity, leadership and professional conduct as we serve our institutions and communities towards the ultimate achievement of wellbeing for all individuals, the community, and all natural and built environments. These uniting visions and values bring us together, and I encourage you to connect with and utilize, the immense pool of experience and knowledge listed in this Directory (namely our members), as you perform your work. I also challenge all members to ask yourselves, “How can I personally contribute in a meaningful way to our field and our association?” The true legacy each of us shall leave behind, no matter what the field, shall include what, and how, we were able to “give”; professionally and personally. Our time is now; let’s make the most of it. Shelley Thoen-Chaykoski S.A.R.P. Chairperson Message from the Executive Director I truly enjoy working with the Recreation Professionals in this Association and love to hear their passion for the Industry.
